And the time goes on

Hello again

So I am happy that my sisters do come at least once or twice a month. I am happy for mom. Otherwise I could care less about them.

Now I forgot to mention that while I am with mom, I check to see if everything is OK with her. I check for bruises, needle marks ( as I have told them that mom is never to get any anti psychotic medication) but they lie all the time about what mom gets. I check to see if she is stoned, her eyes give it away.

I am always checking to make sure they give mom her supplement everyday.I check to see if her diaper is full. If so I change her.

I tell them that mom cannot take the florescent lights, and to put the sun glasses on her. If they are not on, I go and get them. And repeat myself, over and over again to the staff.

It is I who tells the staff if there is anything wrong with mom. I know her that well. I am the one who catches each and every thing that is wrong with her. From the simplest sniffle to mom being sick or having dental issues.

The staff do not notice anything that is wrong. with mom (Mary)

This is part of my daily routine with mom. To make sure everything is OK and to make sure she is being treated with the dignity she deserves.

Tonight mom ate very well. I brought a quiche for her. Well half of one anyways. And she ate it all. Did not want the meal they supplied.

And Fridays is one of the nights that I was her hair. Every other day. It makes her feel so good. The smile on her face tells the whole story.

And when mom is done and ready for bed and her nightly spa treatment, she runs her hand over my face. It is a beautiful thing.

Mom may not speak clearly, but she does speak volumes without being verbal.

People are so surprised that I do this everyday for mom. And I travel such a distance by transit.

I really just ignore people now, when they speak like this. I do this as I love my mother and it is the right thing to do.

PERIOD

Well midnight again, so time to go.

GOD bless and good night
